It contains presentations, videos, and “snapshot” summaries from ANA events and webinars. Also included are various ANA surveys/research reports and insight briefs based on topics identified by ANA and its membership as critical issues and emerging trends.

DPAA has posted a number of case studies, best practices, white papers, and survey research data, to the ANA's exclusive online portfolio and will contine to do so throughout 2013. Contibution to this important portal of knowledge is also promoted on a quarterly basis through the ANA's eNewsletter. (All content is approved by the ANA, is informative and educational in nature and promotes digital place-based media without pitching the DPAA or its members).

Finally, as an ANA Thought Leader, DPAA's staff and membership will attend many of the the ANA's 2013 events listed here (as well as on our events pages). This personal outreach provides deeper integration and enriched relationships with the top brand marketing professionals in the advertising community. Below are the events:
